Depends on interpretation. IIRC currently the same die is used for 440EPx and 440GRx. I could be wrong here though and it is just a bug in the chip. But anyway we should support this somehow. Could be that I missed this in the current 440GRx (Rainier) arch/ppc support too. I have to admit, that no clever solution comes to my mind right away though.
We can always come up with some kind of runtime detection, by turning on MSR:FP, issuing an fp instruction and catching the illegal instruction fault if any :-) Ben.
